    Copper Shot?

    I’ll bet if you took the midget you’re cousin and that Japanese chef you could probably get on just about anyplace you wanted

    Ever heard this song?

    I know what you’re saying. I was thinking it would be cool to just have a stun gun like the old Star Trek. Just stun them let the dog bring them back and set them free when she is not looking. I do feel bad at times killing game. I no longer hunt deer. I wish they would leave the few bears...

    Will this bomb in Kansas?

    I agree on the logo. The new one kind of sucks. You would think they put some lady in charge or something.

    Food topper

    Wendy,s sells these greasey dog patties. There’s like 2 sizes small for 99 cents and large for like 1.69 or something. I get a large chili and 2 small. Ruby can spot a Wendy,s from the front seat of my motor home. Lots of Wendy’s at the loves truck stops we refuel at

    Copper Shot?

    And browning auto 12 ga from the 50s are the best guns on the planet. But you’re right that about sums it up.

    28ga

    Those old brownings were all the range back in the day. My dad had a 12 and a 16. As I recall they were heavy, clunky, temperamental. They were designed to run paper shells. You had to keep them clean and oiled. If you're a lefty no joy. The safeties were sticky and would bite your finger...

    28ga

    The late great gene hill was a huge fan of the 28. Yes he was mostly a grouse and woodcock guy but he hunted pheasant too. As has been said before an oz of lead at 1200 fps well placed is deadly for pheasant. I have a berets 686 silver pigeon 28. I use trulock extended chokes. I hunt with...

    This is where I miss birds

    I don't own a 12 never have. Far as I'm concerned a 12 is for waterfowl or if a guy hunts a couple things a couple times a years and needs one gun for everything. I shot my first rooster in Illinois 58 years ago. At least they told me I got I wonder today, would been 10. Buy the age of 14 I...

    Advice needed-Hunting around Ruthven

    Last week Sunday I left Nebraska around 1pm in my motor home heading for Michigan. It’s a 4 season coach with a diesel fired boiler in addition to the engine heat. I got into Iowa and the temperature was around 0. Stopped for the night and realized my pipes had frozen. I called the truck wash at...

    Man you should go. Let that inner wankin, ass grabbing, rube out! I can see by next year you could be rolling a new Suburban pulling an air conditioned dog trailer. You would have a drawer of custom sub gauge Italian doubles. No stamp metal parts guns for you. Another drawer of high end...

    Here's what I might shoot for now

    I had the opportunity in SD to shoot Pheasant, Sharptail, and huns in the same field . Just 2 barrels tough to do do all at once. I got so so excited I missed all the Huns.

    Pheasants Forever- SCAM or do they help upland hunters?

    I was part of a group that had some land in SD. We were from Michigan. We wanted to do some habitat project but really had no idea where to begin. I called the closest PF biologist in SD. He met me at the property. We went over some of the things he felt we could do. He kind of came up...

    Here's what I might shoot for now

    It's called marketing. It's true you can find all 4, maybe in a couple weeks. It's nothing like hunting in SD. I just got back Monday. I have gone the last 3 years and maybe 6-7 times the last 15. You really have to work for them down there unless you want to pay to play and shoot some...

    Winner/Gregory Area

    I once had a guy fly me into Mitchell in a private jet. He just brought the plane and his boys wanted to go pheasant hunting. Someone gave him my number and figured I might know where to go. I met them at the airport at 8 am we flew to Chicago and picked up another son. We landed in Mitchell he...

    Wanted: started dog

    There’s a guy here in west Michigan that runs second chance bird dogs. He is non profit. He takes in dogs from people that get a bird dog because they think they are cute or something. Soon they realize it’s more than they bargain for. Mike takes them in and trains them up and offers them to...
